Abstract
This striking Free City page juxtaposes a dry, encyclopedic list of sexual positions with an Egyptianizing central image and a brief lyric meditation on absence, desire, and haunted space. The effect is neither pornographic nor purely comic; rather, it turns erotic taxonomy into collage material, setting clinical enumeration against mythic imagery and poetic interiority. In the context of the Free City project, the piece reads as part of a broader effort to break down conventional boundaries between the sacred and the profane, information and art, body knowledge and visionary play.

[Poem printed inside a drawing depicting three Egyptian figures. The text surrounding this graphic is an "Enumeration of erotic postures" listing 87 sex positions, with terminology such as "The man is pedicated while standing."]
